Riots and sunshine

Here are some of my pics from the annual manifestation against police brutality in Montreal, from yesterday.


It was pretty ridiculous actually. In a show of force, the cops closed down the whole center of town. Stores had to close, locking customers inside while the police marched up and down empty streets for no apparent reason flexing their muscles at a non-existent threat.


One guy on a bike turned the wrong corner and accidentally went through the police line... yeah, he got taken down by five cops. Great job guys, keeping the streets safe...


I think in total there were about 50 arrests and two policemen reported slight injuries. Pretty calm for a riot...


If it filled it's purpose, to lessen police brutality... I doubt we'll ever know.


Nice day in the sunshine at least... let's do it again tomorrow!
